My American Bank Note Company  collectibles were inherited from my father, who was vice president of sales for ABNC in NYC in the last days of the Broad Street location. He began as a salesman in the late 60s and worked on many large company projects over the years. I will include a sheet of his ABNC letterhead with this purchase as a bonus. My collection is very diverse, including many assorted specimen stock certificates.
Specimen stock certificates are unique and highly valued in the field of scripophily (the collection of historical stock and Bond certificates). They are archival copies created by printers or companies as perfect examples of a stock issue, never issued to investors. Their uniqueness stems from several key features: They are often marked with a specimen stamp or stamped holes, spelling specimen. They are frequently issued with serial numbers of all zeros or no serial number at all. They may represent designs that were never officially issued, making them rarer than actual traded shares. Because they were not sold to the public and were typically kept in company or printer archives, specimen certificates are scarcer than issued shares, especially for companies that no longer exist or have been acquired. They are sought after by collectors for their historical significance, artistic engravings, and rarity, typically commanding higher prices than issued certificates. These attributes make specimen stock certificates a distinct, and highly desirable category within the world of collectible financial items.
